'f A—6 &% Electricity Rationing This Year Likely, Power Officials Warn Private Homes May Dim To Advance Victory, Congress Is Informed By the Associated Press. Congress received from Gov- ernment power officials today a blunt warning that the Nation faces a rationing of electricity— possibly this year—that may dim even private homes to conserve power for the war effort. That possibility was voiced by Le- land Olds, chairman of the Federal Power Commission, and G. O. Wes- senauer, acting power manager for the Tennessee Valley Authority, in testimony during House Appropria- tions Committee hearings on the tndependent offices supply bill. The bill, calling for $2,096,138,875 for independent agencies of the Government in the next fiscal year and carrying $984410,800 for the shipbuilding program of the Mari- time Commission went to the House today from its Appropriations Com- mittee. The total was about $5,000,000 less than President Roosevelt’s budget recommendations and $1,257,809,349 under comparable appropriations for this fiscal year. But the com- mittee said that subsequent supple- mental funds probably would offset that apparent reduction. Other Big Appropriations. Other major appropriations were: Tennessee Valley Authority, $136,- 100,000; Veterans' Administration, $110.909,088; executive office of the President, $5135325; emergency funds of the President, $25,000,000; civil service retirement and disa- bility fund, $105,258,000, and Public Roads Administration, $88,500,000. The committee also approved $8.- 993328 for the National Advisory Committee for Aeornautics, an in- crease over the current fiscal year of $2797,863, mostly for continued construction at the Moffett Field, Calif.; laboratory and aircraft engine research at Cleveland, Ohio. For the selective service system, the committee allocated $34,745,000, an increase of $1245000 resulting from the new graduated recruitment program. The rationing of electricity for homes, offices, night clubs and other civilian purposes, Mr. Olds told the Appropriation Committee, “is going to be necessary and is going to be done,” and a survey to determine the power supply of the various areas is being made “to determine Jjust what loads can be cut off with- out materially interfering with une normal life of the community.” Widespread Rationing Seen. Mr. Olds said he believed the emergency would call for power rationing in many regions “by the end of this year.” While it is hoped and planned, he added, that curtailment can be ef- fected “without serious dislocation of the normal life of the people,” It may mean “a great deal more than simply the elimination of neon signs, ornamental street lighting, the use of the radio in homes, or other essentially luxury uses.” The more serious shortages of power naturally will occur in the heaviest defense production areas, Mr. Olds explained, and the popula- tion of those areas may face a seri- ous reduction of their normal activ- ities requiring the use of electricity. At present, Mr. Olds told the com- mittee, there is not sufficient power available or projected to meet the defense load of 1942, 1943 or 1944, without either additional capacity or a “material curtailment.” He| estimated the total shortage at sev- | eral million kilowatts this year and | probably three or four million in! 1943, and added, “We are likely to be in a very difficult situation when | we come to 1945 and 1946.” Recalls Southeast'’s Example. Mr. Wessenauer said he was cer- tain there would have to be some | conservation of electricity to meet the defense requirements and re- called savings during a “blackout” period in the Southeast last fall which he estimated at from 2,000,- 000 to 3,000,000 kilowatt hours.

By the end of the current| | fiscal year, one out of about | | every 102 persons in the Unjted States will be on the Federal civil pay roll, the House was informed today by its Appro- priations Committee. The committee obtained its figures from Budget Director Harold D. Smith during hear- ings on the independent offices Government brought out that: 1. The Reconstruction Finance Corp. has made commitments of | about $6,000,000,000 for the defense | and war program. | 2.

Tennessee Valley Authority has developed a process for production | of alumina (basic * material for | making aluminum) from valley | clays and is conducting research for | commercial use of other critically- needed minerals in the area. Strategic Roads Only. 4. Federal funds will be used only for construction of strategic high- ways and access roads for duration of the emergency. 5. The Civil Service Commission lacks staff and funds for complete | checkup of thousands holding Gov- | ernment jobs. At the end of 1941, Mr. Olds said, | the installed capacity in public util- | ity generating stations was npprox-; imately 42,800,000 kilowatts, with a | total dependable capacity of 36,500, | 000 kilowatis. Scheduled additions this year will add some 3,000,000 | kilowatts to the total capacity. | ‘The defense power needs were es- timated by Mr. Olds to vary from | 95 per cent in the Niagara Falls area | to 15 per cent of total capacity in some interior regions. Mr. Olds said the commission's plans for power supply this year and next assume that approximately one-half of all electricity needed for defense production shall come from curtailment of normal uses. Transfer Difficult Problem. The principal difficulty in making power avallable to areas where it is most needed, he said, arises from the fact that “you cannot transmit pow=- er you save in Dakota or Iowa and use it in the East.” The Power Commission submitted an eight-point program for develop- ment and conservation of power, in- cluding new installations and inter- connections, rehabilitation of me- chanical equipment to enable it to handle heavier loads, maintenance of high water storage levels to guard against shortages, pooling of power resources in areas to obtain max- imum use of existing facilities, ad- ustment of loads and switching urs of operation. ~ Should curtailment still be neces- #ary then, the commission plan pro- vides for rationing to meet military ond naval needs and requirements of { 7 appropriation bill.

R. F. C. Spends Six Billions. Federal Loan Administrator Jones reported that the R. F. C. had made authorizations and commitments for | defense and war production totaling just short of $6,000,000,000. By major categories, this showed: Defense Plant Corp., for construc- tion of plants, acquisition of ma- chinery and equipment and related projects, $2,657,722,964.

TOKIO, Jan. 22 (Official Broad- cast) (#).—A Domel war-roundup today asserted the Japanese had de- 1 veloped a new drive down the cen- | ter of Johore state toward Bekok | Al | on the main north-south rail line 80 | miles north of Simgapore and mid- | way between the east and west | coasts. It suggested that Japanese forces engaged in this operation were at- | ed tempting to cut in behind British positions in the interior and trap British defense units there. Front-line dispatches were quoted by Domei as reporting that Japa- nese spearheads pushing south of the Muar River along the west coast were in action against British forces 10 miles north of Batu Pahat, (This apparently was the fight the British reported developing in the Bukit Payong Hill section 9 miles northeast of Batu Pahat in Western Johore some 70 miles from Singapore.) Domei said Japanese planes raided Mersing, on the east coast of Johore, yesterday and that Moul- mein in Burma was attacked today by large bomber formations. No fighter plane opposition was en- countered in the Moulmein attack, Domei asserted. The news agency reported that Japanese forces in the Philippines had pushedl farther south along the west coast of Batan Peninsula in their fight against Gen. Douglas MacArthur’s American and Philip- pine troops. Australians (Continued From Pirst Page.) 30 to 40 miles off Watom Island, which is 15 miles northwest of Ra- baul, about half an hour before the Rabaul radio sent its last message. It was assumed here that the radio and telegraph stations had been demolished by British forces before evacuation in pursuance of a scorched earth policy. (An Australian broadcast rec- orded in New York by the Aus- traltan Associated Press said it now was believed likely the Jap- anese would try to effect landings tomorrow.)

On the home front, the Aus- tralian government took over direc- tion of the meat canning industry to insure continued supply. Officials predicted an increase in indirect taxation would be necessary by spring, along with two large war loans. The first loan, it was said, probably will be launched February 17 to raise $105,000,000.

The most impor- tant provisions are for the purpose of establishing penalties for priority violations, broader presidential pow- er to take over machinery in indus- trial plants when necessary for de- fense, and authority to audit the books of defense contractors from time to time. Meanwhile, Senator Connally, Democrat, of Texas said that he might offer his labor bill as an amendment to the legislation. The measure would empower the Gov- ernment to take over and operate strike-bound defense plants, and freeze labor relations during the | war. He said that he would make sufficient support was in prospect to aad the measure to the war power bill. British Tennis Player Charged With Blackmail BY the Associated Press. MIAMI, Fla., Jan. 22—Two wom- en, one identified as the British tennis player, 24-year-old Valerie Scott, were in jail today on charges of blackmail. Miss Scott has been held for more than a month.

Knudsen Credited With Laying Foundation For Huge Production By NELSON M. SHEPARD. Secretary of War Stimson declarea today that output of bombers, tanks, munitions and other equipment for the expanded needs of the Army will reach “gigantic proportions” in the spring and peak production by summer. He credited Lt. Gen. William &. Knudsen, new directo: of produe- tion and procurement for the War Departmert, with “laying the foundation” for this huge produc- tion to equip an army of 3,600,000 men this year. Gen. Knudsen, who was given his rank this week, surprised reporters at today’s press conference by ap- pearing in civilian clothes. Under wartime regulations all officers of the Army are now in uniform. ‘The Secretary explained: “Mr.— Lt. Gen. Knudsen thinks he could shoot trouble better without s uni- form for the present.” 2 New Armored Divisions. Secretary Stimson also disclosed that the Army will organize a new armored division of 10,000 officers and men next month as a start in the program to increase the present armored force of the Nation to more than twice its present size.
